Dear Dipteran-Community

can someone help me with the identification of the following nematocera? I'm thankful for any tip in the right direction (Family, Subfamily,...). Wings are unfortunately in very poor condition.
Thanks a lot
Sebastian

Dear John, thanks for the quick reply. The only chironomini reported from the region is Chironomus magnivalva but I doubt that this list is comprehensive.
